Pet Supplies "Plus" stores offer a
unique combination of features that
deliver a rewarding shopping
experience to our customers and
their pets, while allowing our
franchisees to control overhead and
build profits. Our stores are clean,
convenient, easy-to-shop, and
well-stocked with the merchandise
pet lovers want, all at competitive
prices.
Neighborhood Stores
Unlike our major competitors, which
typically operate "big box" stores
in power centers, PSP keeps its
stores relatively small (under
10,000 square feet) and located in
neighborhood centers. Our
stores are modeled after
supermarkets, with their open,
well-lit aisles, thematic displays
and shopping carts.
Our supermarket
concept not only makes PSP stores
more pet-friendly and convenient, it
also creates built-in efficiencies
that allow our
franchisees to enjoy healthy profits
even in high cost, competitive
markets. For example, since our
stores are much smaller than the big
boxes, we have lower real estate,
utility, and insurance costs, which
lowers our profit threshold.
Just-In-Time Deliveries
Even though our stores are smaller,
we
maintain a selection that's every
bit as broad as those of our
competitors, thanks to our efficient
Just-In-Time delivery and inventory
system. Working with our established
network of distributors, PSP stores
receive deliveries once or twice a
week, so they're able to offer a
wide variety of products without
using expensive store space to stock
backup inventory.
This has proven to be a winning
formula that has allowed PSP to earn
the reputation of being "your pet's
favorite store," while providing our
franchisees with a great business
opportunity.
